How I Upgraded My Bed Without Buying a New Mattress

Time to come clean: I’m a hot sleeper. Still even with being someone that was regularly waking up sweaty (#yikes), I was sleeping on jersey sheets. On top of regularly feeling overheated, I found myself also debating whether or not to purchase a new mattress. Ultimately, I decided to make some less expensive choices which meant I upgraded my bed without buying a new mattress.

Following discourse and analysis around the Great Resignation has been interesting especially seeing it play out among friends and even at the company I work for. The combination of the labor shortage and pandemic has led to lots of open positions and opportunities to seek out higher paying roles for some. As a disclaimer: things vary by industry, position, and geographic region so be sure to do further research with all advice.

Friday Five: Twas a Hot One

It’s been a minute since I’ve written a Friday Five but I find these roundups fun so here we are. I mentioned it in this week’s newsletter, but this week I felt like I had so much on my mind. Most of my anxiety this week centered around COVID restrictions being picked back up in so many places so I’m trying to remind myself that there’s not much about that which I can control. (Aside from personally masking up whenever I go out and making sure to wash my hands.)

We Launched a Pop Culture Podcast!

Friends it’s been a minute but hopefully this post helps explain some of the why…we launched a podcast! At the beginning of 2020, my friend Tomi and I started posting weekly recaps of The Bachelor on her YouTube channel and before long we began to talk about the possibility of starting a podcast. We spent months really nailing down what we envisioned and at the end of May we launched our podcast, Content Culture!
